Habitat Restoration

The Edgewood Weed Warriors operate under a permit issued to the California Native Plant Society. They meet regularly to remove invasive plants at Edgewood, thereby allowing for greater biodiversity, natural habitats, and those beautiful wildflower displays that everyone enjoys.

The 26-year volunteer restoration program at Edgewood Park looks ahead to another fun and productive year… there’s still so much we can do to make Edgewood an inspirational showcase of all CNPS stands for. With February rains, we anticipate the return of our usual targets, and the drought may even allow us to make extra gains on some species when they’re most vulnerable. Come share the beauty of Edgewood with us, learn a ton, and help keep Edgewood native!

Our 9am Friday sessions run year round, and 5:30pm Wednesday sessions start in March after Daylight Savings Time returns. Monthly 9am Saturday sessions are the 3rd Saturday, March through July, plus National Public Lands Day in September.

A schedule of Wednesday/Saturday session dates, times and meeting places will be available in the Spring. Contact Paul Heiple (pheiple@gmail.com), or John Allen (jcakwa@earthlink.net) for information on Friday work days. Contact Edgewood Weed Warrior program chair Drew Shell (nature@dshell.oddotter.org) for additional Wednesday/Saturday work day information.
